also, many women/people experience controlling behaviour and domestic violence from their partner for the first time during pregnancy. don’t risk thinking “he’s just stressed, it’ll get better when the baby comes” because it won’t. neither you and your child will ever be safe with that man. get out as early and safely as you can

except i ‘got out’ EARLY to protect my daughter and the legal system is going to try forcing me to allow him access and he is NOT A SAFE PERSON! please listen to this advice.

Democrats, are you taking notes? This is how you get shit done.

they should invent a body that feels normal to be inside of

when i was a kid i decided that killing people was bad therefore war was bad therefore the military was evil. and adults would tell me it's more nuanced than that and i would understand when i grew up. well i'm a grown up now and idk i still think that killing people is bad and war is bad and the military is evil

Can we stop with the character development. Where's my beach episode.

emily and richard emotionally abused lorelai her entire childhood and when she got pregnant at 16 they attempted to force her into a marriage with her high school boyfriend against her will. and when she refused to get married, she became even more of a perpetual disappointment in their eyes. even still, she stayed with them for like a year after rory was born finally reaching a breaking point and deciding that being a single teen mom working as a maid and living in a potting shed was preferable to living in a mansion with her parents. lorelai went low contact but did not cut her parents off entirely, which was frankly pretty generous of her. about 15 years later, emily and richard blackmail their way back into their daughter and grandaughter's life, and they take the opportunity to continue where they left off: using lorelai as a convenient scapegoat and verbal punching bag whenver they're upset. not only do they continue to berate and slut shame lorelai for events that took place 15 years ago, they also manage to find brand new reasons to hurt, belittle, gaslight, and manipulate her. they never once apologize for their behavior or try to be better for their kid. but you see, lorelai is sometimes sarcastic and snippy with them, so clearly she's equally to blame for their toxic dynamic 🙄🙄🙄

Hero

Hmm.. maybe I still have a crush on him,
